ONSITE AND ONLINE LEARNING Here are some things to know about spring classes: • NYSID faculty have enhanced the content in the Canvas course sites for all courses—more readings, links, videos, and fuller use of the discussion board. This method of course creation is called “HyFlex.” HyFlex stands for “Hybrid + Flexible.” It is based on maximum flexibility at times of uncertainty, but makes for a solid educational experience—it’s the best of online learning, blended with the best of onsite interaction. • When registering, DR = Distance/Real-Time classes; DL = Distance/Asynchronous • Veterans: DR classes and onsite classes both qualify as onsite learning for your benefits Please be aware of the computer capabilities you’ll be expected to have for your home use. The specs are on the Portal, under the Resource Tab, Technology/Technology Services –Documents (https://portal.nysid.edu/ICS/ Resources/). NYSID, like most interior design and architecture firms, is a PC-based environment. You’ll need extensive memory, and reliable internet access.
